![Information Hazards: A Typology of Potential Harms from Knowledge Abstract Nick Bostrom Faculty of Philosophy & Oxford Martin School Oxford University [Published in Review of Contemporary Philosophy, Vol. 10 (2011): pp. 44-79] www.nickbostrom.com Information hazards are risks that arise from the dissemination or the potential dissemination of true information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm. Such hazards are often subtler than direct physical threats, and, as a consequence, are easily overlooked. They can, however, be important. This paper surveys the terrain and proposes a taxonomy. 1. Introduction There is, these days, a commonly held presumption in favor of knowledge, truth, and the uncovering and dissemination of information. It is rare find somebody who self-identifies as an obscurantist or who openly espouses obscurantism as a legitimate policy instrument of wide utility. Even reactionaries rarely object to this general favoring of information. Consider some particularly intransigent creationist who opposes the teaching of evolution theory in public schools. He does not constitute a counterexample. For he does not believe that evolution theory is a truth to be concealed. Rather, he believes evolution theory an error that ought to be replaced with more accurate information. Therefore, although he happens unwittingly to stand in the way of truth, he need not disagree with the claim that the truth should be promoted. The creationist, too, is a truth- lover, albeit one whose affections are unreciprocated. Although nobody makes a brief for ignorance generally, there are many special cases in which ignorance is cultivated-in order, for example, to protect national security, sexual innocence, jury impartiality; to preserve anonymity for patients, clients, reviewers, and voters; to create suspense in films and novels; to protect trade secrets; to measure the placebo effect and avoid various](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/635/326/252.jpg "Information Hazards: A Typology of Potential Harms from Knowledge by Nick Bostrom")
